deaf的意思是“聋的;听不见的”。fall on deaf ears可不是“落在了听不见的耳中”,而真实含义是“对...置若罔闻,充耳不闻,没有被听取,未被理睬”。
【例句】
You will go before the council, but your words will fall on deaf ears.
你是可以去议院,但议员们对你的话会充耳不闻。
I reminded him three times that the homework assignment was due but it fell on deaf ears. Now he’s failed!
我提醒了他三次该交家庭作业了,但他当耳旁风,置之不理。这不,他考试不及格。
